Skylar Capital Advisers has added energy trading veteran Brenden O’Neill to the firm’s trading desk. O’Neill, a veteran natural gas options expert, joins Skylar with over 20 years of successful trading experience.
O’Neill began his career at Koch Energy where he spent his first five years as an engineer in the refining division before transitioning into trading as a gas basis and options trader for Koch Energy Trading, and later Entergy-Koch Trading. In early 2006, he co-founded Draxis Energy Management, a prominent Houston based energy trading fund. At Draxis, O’Neill was also a senior portfolio manager responsible for trading natural gas along with other energy commodities.
“We welcome Brenden’s extensive experience, especially his expertise in implementing options strategies across various natural gas market conditions,” says William O Perkins III, Skylar’s founder, CIO and Managing Partner. “Brenden’s approach as a fundamentals trader enhances our trading desk and overall strategy.”
O’Neill will be based at Skylar’s Houston office and joins the firm as a natural gas trader with an emphasis on options strategies.
